Watching advertisements online, many people are fascinated by smart, convenient household appliances, but when they bring them home to use, they are only annoyed because many of them are no different from toys.
Steam mop
This item is claimed to be able to eliminate bacteria in the room through high temperature and powerful cleaning effect, making floor cleaning easier.
However, in reality, it is not like that. Because it has to be plugged into an electrical outlet, the cleaning range is limited. When encountering stubborn dirt, it will not be able to be cleaned without using force.
High temperature steam mop consumes water quickly. The mopping time needs to be well controlled, otherwise it may be necessary to add water several times to clean one pass. This takes more time and effort than a traditional mop.
In addition, the brush on the mop is also very inconvenient to clean. After a period of use, water residue will clog the vent holes, affecting the cleaning efficiency.
Not only that, high-temperature steam mops are also expensive. If you buy mid-range to high-end products, you can reduce the above disadvantages. But if you buy cheap products for use, it can become a "useless" item, bringing trouble to yourself. Many people reflect that the joint between the handle and the body is very fragile, the plastic is of poor quality, so it often breaks.
Mini washing machine
Watching the video about the mini washing machine, you must really like it, dreaming of it washing baby clothes, underwear clean. In fact, many people who have used it regret it.
The mini washing machine is so noisy that it scares you off the first time you use it. You have to add and drain water manually, which is not as convenient as a regular washing machine. Luckily, it saves you the trouble of scrubbing.
This item is more suitable for single men and women who are a bit lazy and like to experience. Or it should only be used to wash children's clothes separately if you cannot afford to buy a separate machine for your baby.
Knife and cutting board sterilizer
Oral diseases are a major concern for many people. For this reason, many people choose knife, cutting board, and chopstick sterilizers that rely on ultraviolet sterilization and other sterilization methods released by the sterilizer to eliminate bacteria and germs. However, is this machine really safe?
In fact, it is almost impossible to achieve the purpose of sterilization by simply boiling chopsticks. Many times when we boil chopsticks in boiling water, the chopsticks will soon become moldy and change color again. Moreover, bacteria not only spread through kitchen utensils and tableware, but also food itself carries bacteria if not cooked and washed properly.
Not only that, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria if not cleaned regularly. Inadvertently, the process of use can also contaminate knives and chopsticks.
Waterproof slow cooker
The seller said that this waterproof electric stew pot can stew anything, ensuring health safety and preserving nutrition. People who like to eat soup, porridge, and families with children learning to eat solid foods will love it because of its affordable price and practicality.
But in reality, this type of waterproof electric cooker, especially the small capacity of only 0.8-1 liter, cannot be used. Because it can only cook a very small amount of rice, while most users put too much rice.
Furthermore, because it can hold very little water and needs to be constantly added, the steam is weak and no matter what you cook, it will not turn out well. The end result is usually undercooked rice and beans. The secret to buying this item is to buy a mid- to high-priced one with a large capacity.
Air conditioner fan
In the hot summer, regular electric fans always blow hot air, air-conditioning electric fans were born for open spaces, convenient to move.
The fan adds water to the water tank, helping to cool it down. However, this type of fan is very noisy, consumes electricity and takes up space. Families should not buy it because the space is small, so its noise and space-consuming nature make you even more uncomfortable. When you no longer want to use it, it is very difficult to dispose of, but leaving it in the house only takes up space.
This type of fan should only be used in restaurants and shops to increase cooling efficiency.
